Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in muffin pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups and cool completely.

I love maple and almost always have bran cereal around. Do you think whole wheat pastry flour would work? I have a lot to spare of it. I need to bring healthier snacks to work. These muffins would fit the bill!

Thanks for the comment (as always)! I love maple anything (I had a fixation with Starbucks maple-frosted scones in my 20s). This looks like a lovely, healthier version and very satisfying for a morning treat. I’d probably be tempted to re-incorporate the raisins, though!

Bran muffins sound so good! It’s been ages since I had one. There is never any bran cereal at my house. If I buy it to bake with the rest of the box goes stale. I wonder if I can buy it in the bulk section at the food co-op? Worth checking out!

Wait? Bran Muffin plus maple syrup? Are you allowed to combine two types of awesome like that :)? I usually have the entire line of Kellog’s bran cereals in my house, so I’m quite excited to try these. I’m assuming you used Grade B maple syrup?
